Here I thought I was turning my girlfriend on by doing silly things like taking romantic walks with her and going to concerts with her and telling her how beautiful and amazing she is!
All this time I should have just been driving around in an expensive sports car.
There is something going on with those (what did one LW call them... penis-mobiles?), but it has nothing to do with women. Men (at least some of them) just like to compete with themselves, whether or not they are married and not in the market for impressing women. Every woman I've ever met is more likely to roll her eyes at a "hot" car cruising down the street than get all hot and bothered. Conversely, the only guys I've ever known who love expensive cars get more turned on by listing their vehicle's stats than thinking about the girls their car could get them.
